Chapter 8: love can be in any form...

Bailey and me talked about the kids,their likes and dislikes. She told me that her daughter's doesn't like to eat green vegetables and that she noticed Sarah and dew didn't have any difficulty. So I gave her some tips and told her to add a vegetable daily in their lunch. We talked about Debbie's s health and her other cousins. She told me that every Christmas they all celebrate it together. She told me that her another cousin is also dating someone and like this and that we conversed for an hour. It was like I was talking to my best friend. Both of us didn't feel any awkwardness. That evening I decided to call Debbie to ask about her health. Andrew had messaged me that he had taken her to her monthly check up today. As usual Debbie was very loving and motherly which made me a pool of emotions. I never had any mother figure in my life with whom I can talk or with whom I can share my parenting doubts or my fears. Debbie is the perfect mother each one of us have or craves form. Sometimes it amazed me how after going through such a tough marriage she was still that lovable and caring. I made my mind that one day if I ll get chance I am going to ask her. She told me that her heamoglobin is low that's why she is having dizziness attacks. Her doctor had made her a chart and have added some fruits and vegetables which ll increase her hb..I decided that I ll make some home remedies for her so that she can get better before the Christmas. We were talking and I realised that she had gotten tired in the meanwhile so i decided to cut short our conversation. I told her that she should lie down and we ll talk tomorrow. She agreed and we said our good bye. She remembered to give love to Sarah and dew. After that I decided to prepare dinner then the bell rung. I opened the door and found Andrew with a bouquet of red,yellow and pink roses in his hand. He kissed me passionately on the lips and I embraced it like it was my first kiss. I pulled back first as I remembered that I had noodles on the stove. I ran back while Andrew followed behind me. He gave the roses and I took it and kept them in a vase of water. I kept it on the dining table. I called children for the dinner and they came down and greeted Andrew. It was like they were very comfortable in his presence. Sarah Saw the bouquet first and asked me if Andrew had gifted me and when I replied in affirmation she told me that it's really beautiful. Dew was constantly telling Andrew about his day and his new video game. Andrew was listening very patiently which always amazes me as I still can't believe he doesn't have his own kids. We had noodles with vegetable soup. Andrew helped me in washing and drying. At that moment I realized that love is not only about gifts or expressions , sometimes it's about how you take care of each other. How you remember to bring or do small things for your partner. How you are always trying to understand each other' s views and opinions. It takes a huge effort to avoid seeking intentions behind each other's mistakes. A relationship always need nurturing and comprises but the effort is worth it. He/ She is there for you at the end of the day. Sometimes love can be in any form - if someone is cooking a meal for you,or someone is looking after your kids, or that someone is not judging you for your past and is accepting you as you already are. it can be your spouse,your children, you best friend, your cousin, your in laws,your neighbors or it could be anyone. It can be divine who is or has been showering you daily with food,or roof above your head,hot or cold water, air and so many things. I was in my own world and there was a beautiful silence in the kitchen. Andrew was humming a tune. We silently finished the washing up. And decided to watch a movie. I cuddled him on the sofa as children had already left to sleep. While watching I don't know when he started kissing me and I responded equally. He kissed my forehead,my eyes,nose and then my lips. He slowly put his other hand under my top and gently started massaging my breasts. His touch made me moan. He told me that it was enough as the children were in the house. He told me that we ll continue this some other day. I nodded as I was still breathless. I asked him to sleep in my bedroom with me . He was always so caring that he asked me if I am sure as there is no hurry. I told him that i am very much sure and I need his physical presence with me. I changed and he just took out his shirt and pants so that he was in his boxers . For the first time I decided to wear a Maxie. I chose my red Maxie which had sheer top and bottom. As I came back from the bathroom his eyes told me that he like it very much. I laid down next to him and he kissed me on my shoulder blade. He told me that I was looking really hot which made me tomato red. At that time he took his hand down and gently started rubbing my vagina. He rubbed it until he didn't felt my release. Then he kissed me and we cuddled and slept.
